We started out the day at the Bonton so that (e:hodown) could get pantyhose and some makeup.

We decked out the house with lots of spider webby stuff.

I decided to be the demon farmer. I wanted a costume that was fun, easy, and revealing. I thought this one worked.

By 5am I was pretty much exhausted. This is me trying to make a serious face while posing for (e:hodown). It was the first time I wore contacts in years.

I work up at 9:20am to one messy ass kitchen. (E:flacidness), (e:hodown) and I cleaned till like 11:30. Then we left for the farmer's market. The best part was when TK first woke up he was thirsty and poured a glass of cider to chug. Unfortunately, it was the cider that Robert and James brought which was alcoholic.

I had no idea there was hard cider I would have liked to try that. There was all kinds of food that I didn't eat, I just wasn't hungry for some reason. I hope that all that straw got picked up some how. Thanks for hosting the party!!!!

I asked mike if we could come back and clean up and he said no. I like cleaning up after parties for some reason. Wish I could have seen TK's face when he drank that cider...hehe

I feel like I should have stayed behind and helped clean up. I think that's my plan for next time. Or I should just drop by in the morning and help with the scrubbing and vaccuming. It really feels awful now, that I left without even asking. This is a seriously rude (bordering on vindictive) thing to do back home. I am sorry! :(

Today was so far the most uneventful birthday ever. Which was fine with me. We might go out to dinner later. The exciting part was that I ate a chicken hogie sub for lunch on wheat with cheese and I am not really sick right now. I figured I would just try it for my birthday.

Toys
My new Nokia n810 not phone is on its way tonight. I cannot wait to play with it.

Laptops
One of my coworkers got a new Dell XPS laptop that almost puts my mac to shame in terms of beauty and brawn. To bad it runs the wrong OS. I think Mac OS would looks great on it. It has a 64GB solid state drive. Must be nice but I am not sure that is enough space for me yet and also sports a finger print scanner.

Bye, bye plastic bags
Whole Food grocery store got rid of their plastic bags. No more plastic bags at checkout. What will the coop do in response?

I know it sounds strange but sometimes uneventfull birthdays are good to. Sometimes it is nice not to do anything. This is often true when it is during the week. In any event I hope you still had a nice Birthday.

k i wished you happy birthday before your birthday and now i wish you happy birthday after your birthday. my timing sucks..

More fish. For my birthday my mom cooked more seafood. This time Calamari with cinamon, clove sauce which I love.

I feel bad because I ate orange roughy which is great other than my enviro checker fish site says it is bad to eat. We didn't release before. It tastes just about like lobster. It is so good. Too bad I will probably never have it again.

And shrimp

This hickory smoked salmon was much like bacon in flavor, yum.

And chicken because not everyone likes fish ;(

After blowing on the candles on the lemon menrigue, wheat-free, dairy-free cake I opened my presents.

I hadn't had wheat or dairy for a couple days before that. But (e:matthew) is gluten intolerant so we usually have gluten free stuff at home all the time.

Before you took your blood test a few days ago, were you already abstaining from wheat? I've heard that doing so can throw off the different tests they do (having a significant other with celiac, I've picked up on some of this stuff).

This is a little late but I have been so busy setting up the new server. So here it goes.

There is finally snow everywhere, He is some on the front windshield of the car on the way to my mothers for thanksgiving.

I forgot to tak any pictures of all the amazing food for once. I was so hungry I forgot about tthe camera. After dinner my Dad got out al the liquor, considering they don't drink very much , a lot of it was quasi vintage.

Don't the instructions on the back of this bacadi bottle seem kind of redundant.

That is really crazy. I can't understand why someone would write that in a year book, cause wouldn't they just say they didn't want to write anything. but see then at the end it sounds positive so it sounds like all the craziness was just in good fun. I say that you should leave high school back in High School myself. Even if it was great for you I'm sure you will bring out demons of someone else. I have to add that those pies look really good.

My mother-in-law has purchased 6 or 7 Webkinz for my kids at this point. Once a week or so Chrissy or myself will sit down with Delaney and play the games with her and help her dress them up "virtually" and stuff. Stay away from Cash Cow and Cash Cow 2, though. CRACK.

Mother's Day was a smash hit. We had a ton of food and ate outside. It was nice for my mom to not have to do anything. (e:terry) , (e:mike) and I worked so hard to get it all ready. And thanks to (e:matthew) who cleaned up in the house before having to go to his mom's.

Grilled Lobster is good, now I know.

Somehow I lost the picture of the buffalo burgers.

First time using the fancy crystal bowl. We decided to have a homage to my mothers multi meat meals by having every type of berry. This is a strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry fruit salad we served with marscopone.

My mother requested shrimp, we made it three different ways. It seriously took like 45 minutes to clean the all.

Most of this weekend generally sucked. I spent a long time programming stuff that should take very little time, if I had the proper tools, a quick dual processor machine with lots of ram and a fast internet connection. The thing about being a web programmer that sucks is not the development but the incessant testing in diverse systems. If if you follow the prescribed way of writing client side code, there is no guarantee that any display mechanism(browser) is going to respect the rules. Thus I spent a million hours testing. My vaio s360 linux system is just not cutting it. The system just doen't have enough computing power.

I want a powerbook that does mac, linux, and PC all in one with 3 GBs of RAM. One of my co-workers has this setup. It seems like the dream development platform for web designer. It would have the possibility of saving me hundreds of hours in testing.

It looks like I might need to settle for a mac mini at this point and just give up on having a powerful laptop.

I am tired of snow but not too tired, like if I had a better computer, I would probably enjoy the snow.

Oh teds dogs. We go every time (e:mrdeadlier) and (e:enknot) 's friend comes to town. Notice the neutrino in the background there.

Remember my infrared pics, I swear I caught a ghost on one downtown by Lafayette square.

Here is some of the decoration from inside the building.

On Saturday I went to my little cousins' birthday party. (e:mike) got so excited so many times, you would think it was his birthday.

My cousin jennifer is a balloon clown. Well not really but when she was a kid she learned how to tie balloon animals and we had a lot of fun playing with them.

My little cousin got a million action figures and toys, even some historic ones like this death star.

The mice had some food to eat in the attic. They got in the tortoise hay seed. Actually, there are no mice anymore, but cleaning up after them was fun. It is nice to have them gone.

I also cleaned the kitchen which involved washing out the entire fridge. I can't believe how disgusting some of the things were.

This was in the tray under the fridge. The mice had used it as a birdbath. I not only cleaned it all out, I also fille dit with salt so that if they ever come back they will get no water there. What the fuck is it?

The thing in the last picture is by far the most disgusting thing I ever touched. I am not sure what it was. It was definitely, thoroughly decomposing, although t did not really smell. I have looked at the picture so much trying to figure out what it was. Matt seems pretty convinced it was some bit of roting mouse.

what the fuck is the last picture of? im officially grossed out. are you going out for mardi gras?

On Friday, January 19th I am having a birthday party at the 24. I am thinking it is going to be a pajama party. Wear whatever you want. I will actually be 30. I haven't figured out the details yet but just reserve some time in your schedule. Everyone is invited - accept Nick Matteliano, who keeps issuing threats to the estrip.org online community (e:news,935)

In case I forget to say itHappy Early Birthday. I plan on being there with my camera. I will admit no Pajamas for me for two reasons 1. I don't have any. 2. If i did walking there and home in Pajamas wouldn't be to good. What would be kinda funny to do (but way to much effort) would be to get a huge pink Bunny set like in a christmas story.
